Fuji Gran Fondo 2.5 C Road Bike - 2015

Updated with an 11-speed Shimano 105 drivetrain, the 2015 Fuji Gran Fondo 2.5 C features geometry that'll keep you comfortable all-day long without sacrificing the performance you demand. Using a longer head tube than a traditional race bike, about 10mm on a 55cm frame, the Gran Fondo creates a slightly more upright rider position in order to stave off upper body fatigue on longer rides. The longer wheel base makes handling snappy, but predictable. An all-new, cutting-edge Shimano 105 11-speed drivetrain and Oval Concept components add modern technology and maximum efficiency to a great all-around bike.

The Gran Fondo frame is made from Fuji's proprietary C5 high modulus carbon blend. High modulus is an engineering term which defines stiffness in fibers. Therefore, a high modulus frame has a stiffer blend of fibers which results in less flex and better transmission of power spent. Carbon fiber, used for much of its modern life in the aerospace industry, is a valuable high performance product for its lightweight, high temperature tolerance and low thermal expansion properties. The C5 frame is further refined with a Shimano press fit bottom bracket and tapered head tube. The larger press fit design allows Fuji to move the frame material around, thinning out the seat stays and strengthening the chain stays, which puts the carbon where it matters to you most. The tapered head tube stiffens the front end of the bike for better power transmission.

The Gran Fondo 2.5 C is outfitted with Shimano's stellar 105 11-speed group. The Shimano 105 shifters deliver smooth, crisp shifting and provide excellent modulation and stopping power with the 105 brakes. The 11-speed rear derailleur integrates the wide-link design found in Dura-Ace and Ultegra for increased durability and amazing shifting performance.

Oval Concepts has long been revered for producing high quality components. The Oval 327 aero clinchers provide a slight speed advantage without going overboard and losing comfort. They are outfitted with Vittoria Zaffiro Pro tires that have a slick surface for low rolling resistance and a wider 25c profile for greater stability, especially while cornering. An R500 saddle with chromoly rails and a 905 carbon seat post add more comfort to an already relaxed and comfortable carbon performance road bike.

The Fuji Gran Fondo 2.5 C is meant to be enjoyed no matter your length of ride. While it is capable of high speed, you may never need it as you roll down the road in the quiet, zen-like comfort that we call riding a road bike.
